Big Japanese Antique Bronze Temple Bells Bonsho for garden or indoor display
Category: Buddhist Collection, Japanese and Asian Garden Antiques, SFA Blog
We have found this genre of fabulous Japanese antiques to be very popular, often selling them as
quickly as we can source them. These hand selected bronze Temple Bells often have the signature
of the donor and date inscribedon the side. Rather than containing a clapper, bonsho are struck
from the outside, using either a handheld mallet or a beam suspended on ropes. Ranging in height
from 8″ to 21″, and in age from Edo to Showa period.They are an extraordinary way to accent your
indoor or outdoor garden space!
